Although it might *finally* be warming up here in San Francisco, this past weekend was unusually chilly. Sunday morning I woke up to iron skies and a creeping bookishness, so the day was spent curled up on my couch finishing The Golem and the Jinni. It’s a remarkable melange of fantasy and historical fiction, set in early 20th century New York. An incredibly well-paced and captivating read; highly recommended.

And, what better accompaniment to a good book than a good doughnut?
